LANDISVIEW is a tool, developed at the
Knowledge Engineering Laboratory at Texas A&M University, to visualize and
animate LANDIS output maps (8-bit/16-bit ERDAS GIS format). It can also
convert LANDIS output maps into ASCII and batch files.

LANDISVIEW provides two major functions:

1) File Viewer: Files can be viewed
sequentially and an output can be generated as a movie file or as an image
file.

2) File converter: It will convert the loaded
files for compatibility with 3rd party software, such as Fragstats.

Funding for the development of LANDISVIEW has
been provided by the Ecology, Biology and Management of Bark Beetles and
Invasive Forest Insects of Southern Conifers Unit, the USDA Forest Service
Southern Research Station.

Valuable contributions to the development of
LANDISVIEW were made by Dr. John Waldron of University of West Florida.
